EDINBURGH, Scotland, Dec. 4 (UPI) -- Two giant pandas left China en route for the Edinburgh Zoo in Scotland Sunday as part of a loan program officials hope will result in the pair breeding.
Tian Tian, meaning "sweetness," and Yang Guang, meaning "sunshine," are being accompanied by a veterinarian and two animal handlers on a chartered flight, the BBC reported. The eight-year-old pandas will live at the zoo for at least 10 years.
